I go fast SATA right now as SSD are sooooo expensive and their capacity isn't all that great yet. I've also seen live tests on boot times using laptops fitted with SSD's against other laptops using SATA drives and for me the overall speed benefit isn't huge.

10,000 rpm hard drive... if you get two, and put them in RAID, the speed can rival SSD hard drives

I know it's quite a bit more expensive but how about twice the space compared to the one your thinking of, and still 10000rpm?

Yeah it's a little pricey. I was hoping to only spend £130 max on a new hard disk
